A bit late but sorted the bonnet catch issue. When i looked closely the rubber cones on the bonnet were badly distorted bought a new pair of polyurethane ones, when fitted and adjusted that sorted the bonnet catch springing up Regards keith

i agree the night dimming relay was a silly idea in the first place

That's the 3rd owner The second owners address was only 1 1/2 miles away from the first so took a photo there as well don't think i will bother with the 3rd owner in Chelmsford Regards Keith

I was looking through the original owners hand book the other day and noticed it was 50 years this week that my GT6 was first registered . By whites of Grimsby as I only Live in Lincoln its about forty miles , so why not find the house of the first owner . Whites went out of business in the 1990's and the hand book gives the address of the first owner , see photo below. any way got there and positioned the car and took a couple of photos , Then a car pulled into the drive so I thought i had better approach and say why I was taking photos of a classic car out side his house. Turned out the current occupier had bought the property six years ago from the estate of my GT6's first owner.

Hi Johno You sent me a private message but for some reason i cant access it if you put a message up here for all to see I will get back to you Regards Keith

What photos do you want I have a late swing spring GT6 Mk3 which is standard apart from a stainless extractor manifold . I am not near Bristol but could post them on here

Hi Peter A bit drastic but a solution . I have adjusted the bonnet cone for now and will see if that works . if not then I will get the Dremel to the catches. I probably will not know for a few weeks as it happened to and from Cadwell Park on Lincolnshire's back roads which looked to have been repaired by a chimp with a shovel and i was travelling at a brisk pace

On rough Roads the drivers side bonnet catch has started popping open GT6 Mk 3. Is this because the latch on the body needs to have more tension or less on the bonnet catch . all the parts show no sign of wear and were new when i rebuilt the car . I think i probably need to adjust the drivers side bonnet cone maybe wind it down a couple of threads to allow for wear do you agree Regards keith

I think this is what you need buy quality and buy once . I initially put a cheap new spring on the GT6 . and had problems bought a replacement from a reputable supplier I suspect it came for these people https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225395443279?epid=550067965&hash=item347a9d864f:g:PcIAAOSwExJXofAr&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0I3tLUa8x12LuckGrkUXQIDuvmnIDu7h1QIynXKr6KkHtDedf4%2Faox6ObOmqOYTE0VElN9Sd0IdsHEF%2FeqzhB8fNoFioPDYhOKc%2Bz0oG6c3DEXHz%2FbTrtBzj%2FUlHXwdHqD7vuLoMctkPb%2BAMoXv%2BNc6PC0EUmyBVbBEWth4Io7fjI%2Fx42PDesm%2F2pUvYps%2BP7plBHAURBc1jI1gu0aoNphmqvFgY7C%2Brsc%2BX07N%2BhmZXCnRRC2tsA2pBTSnvLAm%2FZ38LPagkB%2BIdLe96LpbYwOM%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6SepeyBYg Regards keith

and that's why I took it to the experts

I use kill rust and found by accident that if welding a new panel to an old one with minor rust the kill rust gives a much better weld keith
